About crying faces

Crying kaomoji feature visible tear marks and sobbing expressions — the full-emotion end of the sad scale. They cover everything from a single quiet tear to an uncontrolled meltdown face.

Tear glyphs like ;_; and T_T are the classic shorthand. Most paste fine on all devices; a few rare tear marks may show as boxes on older systems. If that happens, pick a simpler crying face from the same grid.

Tears in text faces come from a few glyph families. Vertical marks like ╥ and T look like streams running down, semicolons as in ;_; look like single drops, and wide wavy mouths such as ﹏ or ︵ add a sob. Combining streaming eyes with an open mouth makes the loudest cry, while a single drop reads closer to being moved or touched. Many people also use crying faces for happy tears, for example when a friend shares good news, so context and the words around the face matter.

Crying faces are common in fandom and gaming chat as an exaggerated reaction to a sad scene or a lost match, where nobody takes them literally. In more serious conversations, a single crying face after a short honest sentence reads better than a string of faces, which can look like a joke.
